OBJECTIVE In the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals, staff receive considerable radiation exposure to the hands during withdrawal of activity from the elution vial, from a combination of the syringe and elution vial activities. In an attempt to reduce the radiation burden to the hands, a simple technique was developed that utilizes a modified lead pot lid and a syringe bearing a long needle wi...

In this study, we investigated the influence of different modes magnetic mixing on effective enzyme activity aspartate ammonia-lyase from Pseudomonas fluorescens immobilized onto epoxy-functionalized nanoparticles by covalent binding (AAL-MNP). The specific AAL-MNPs in traditional shake vial method was compared to MNP-based biocatalyst two devices designed for agitation. first device agitated m...

Housed in a tiny TSOP6 package, the NCP1250 lends itself very well to the design of moderate to high output power converters. Some features such as Over Power Protection (OPP) and internal Over Voltage Protection (OVP) make the part a component of choice for applications where high performance and cost must be combined. This application note demonstrates the part capabilities in a 60 W ac−dc ad...

Abstract Background Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the virus. While preventable vaccination, remains prevalent across globe. prevalence low in many areas of world, there are still regions which considered to be high. surface antigen (HBsAg) can one first indicators infection, and it commonly screened diagnostic test determine if patient immune, susceptible, or has acute chronic HBV ...

Cool water packs are a useful alternative to ice packs for preventing unintentional freezing of vaccines during outreach in some situations. Current guidelines recommend the use of a separate refrigerator for cooling water packs from ambient temperatures to prevent possible heat degradation of adjacent vaccine vials. To investigate whether this additional equipment is necessary, we measured the...
